On the 26th, the Presidential Office stated that it "will await the appellate court's decision and observe the situation" regarding the court's approval of the injunction request to suspend the appointment of directors of the Korea Broadcasting Culture Promotion Foundation (KBCPF), the major shareholder of MBC.

A senior official from the Presidential Office said in a press release that day, "We always respect the judiciary's decisions."

On the same day, the Seoul Administrative Court's 12th Administrative Division (Presiding Judge Kang Jae-won) approved the injunction request filed by KBCPF Chairman Kwon Tae-sun and directors Kim Ki-jung and Park Seon-ah against the Korea Communications Commission, asking to block the appointment of new directors.

As a result, the new board members will not be able to assume their positions until the outcome of the main lawsuit is determined.
